They cant get out right?Or are going to "come and get us".I know , I know, how dumb am I, I am embarrassed , But you guys have been so nice to me , where else ask.I truly love walking and seeing them, it makes my day! Thanks for the answers, and hope you enjoyed the laugh
It's a secret.... the cows have a phobia about being "tipped"....This has been passed down threw the generations of cows warning the younger cows not too dooze because that's a invite too be cow tipped,so the older cows stare at you too warn you about this.

The word "coward" is actually derived from the Latin word for "fear of large, dumb animals". Cow-arda. Plural: Cowardium.

Uh, or so I've heard.

You might not want to mention that to the cows however. They can be touchy on the subject.
ok ,ewww, I try not to think of "those" things, like deer meat is eating BAMBI, andI know the hunters are going crazy right now.I try not to think of hamburger as the cows I eat either, I went to a Bison farm for vacation one time, we looked out our deck and saw them , the man gave us bison meat to take home , when my hubby cooked it , al I saw was those bison, I ate fast

Of course living in NJ we don't get much of it around these parts. But I grew up in upstate NY and lived down the road from a dairy farm. Love the smell of cow pucky!

Yeah, we're a funny bunch.

Forget what Tinman said about Nemo . . . you don't want to get that in your head.

And go pet a cow sometime.
